Expectation vs.. Results.

An old merchant tells this anecdote illus
trating the probability of business sales:
A young friend called the other day in high
glee He was about concluding arrange
ments with two others to embark in the job
bing trade and was quite sanguine in his eX-
pectation of results. As | did not express
full faith in his anticipations he rather re-
sented my doubts. At my suggestion he
took pen and paper and put down, first of
ALL his proposed expenses. | could see that
he had not done this before, as he seemed
startled to find thai even at the moderate
estimate he had made the total expenses for
rent, clerk hire and living of the several
partners amounted to s., 200.
''Now for the amount of business, said l..
"Oh, as to that he replied, 1--WE hope to
sell 5000 worth of goods a year"
But what amount of trade do all Of you
at present influence. Make, now, a careful
estimate of the business you can rely upon
with some degree of certainty" He did so,
and to his surprise it did not quite reach
S125, 900.
'Now, what profit can you average upon
that" After some debate it was fixed al
~ per cent-S9,315
Now what shall we call the lossest'
The latter was settled at 2l5 per cent. on
sales amounting to 81, 125, leaving the net
income Sc, $50, or 81 $50 less than enough t.
pay his estimated expenses. The young MAJ
LEFT, proposing to show the estimate to his
chocolates, and after figuring awhile without
arriving at q more satisfactory result, they
abandoned the undertaking. There is nc
doubt that if all, when about to embark in
trade, would thus boldly look at the figures
instead Of closing their eyes and hoping foI
the best, there would be fewer failures among
business men and less complaint that "tradC
